This update focuses on Headquarters reliability and making later governance progression easier to reach and understand.
Headquarters
Leased Headquarters can now be purchased at their current tier, including the maximum HQ tier.
Existing lease deposits are credited correctly when purchasing the building.
HQ upgrades now save properly and remain in place after exiting and relaunching the game.
Fixed an issue where the Headquarters Close control could disappear after selecting governance decisions or changing the HQ.
Governance
Players with a leased maximum-tier HQ are no longer permanently blocked from Board and Foundation progression.
Board formation still requires an owned HQ and either a Controller or COO.
Succession clarity
Dashboard heir readiness now uses the same three-skill average as the Dynasty system.
The Dashboard now shows the 65-readiness threshold needed for Dynasty progression.
Existing saves are supported. You should not need to restart your game.
Thanks again to everyone who reported these issues and helped me track them down. Please let me know if anything still looks wrong after updating.
